IN THIS VIDEO: Probably the most terrifying footage I've seen of the tsunami. The original upload is from wngad869, who shot the video in Oirase Town, Aomori Prefecture, which is 200 miles north of Sendai.

He took an unbelievable risk in order to get this close up footage and it is amazing how he was able to find the safety of a small tower in the midst of all the rushing water.

Raw footage showing the water rapidly receding post-tsunami. The original upload is the second from wngad869, who shot the video in Oirase Town, Aomori Prefecture, Japan, which is 200 miles north of Sendai. You can hear in the video how he was still trying to catch his breath.
